SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah's attorney general says it's unlikely a full settlement can be reached by Monday in a dispute over a land trust once run by polygamous church leader Warren Jeffs.
The $114 million property trust is an arm of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It holds most of the land and homes in Hildale, Utah, Colorado City, Ariz., and a church enclave in Bountiful, British Columbia.
The trust has been in state control since 2005.
A proposed settlement is due Monday to a 3rd District judge.
On Friday, Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said his office and FLDS attorneys were close to an agreement.
However, Shurtleff says neither the attorney general of Arizona, nor court-appointed fiduciary Bruce Wisan, had agreed to the proposal.
